Why doesn’t the detergent inside cause the package to break down ? I find as soon as water touches it it begins to melt away, why wouldn’t the detergent cause this?

I actually got to learn this in one of my chemistry lectures 😀 the inside of the pod actually does have a little water in it despite the little plastic package stuff being water soluble, the reason it doesnt just dissolve is because of the activity coefficient (just describes the ability of mixing) due to it being in the gel stuff, when the pod is in water the activity coefficient is high enough that it can mix and dissolve. Sorry if I didnt phrase it well, just really excited to actually contribute to a question I kinda know c:
